Whenever I remember that a fresh and vibrant young man like me will end up looking like this, I swallow hard and let my thoughts wander.

Why was he not promoted beyond a private?

He's a salted lord, if you know you know. Rip.

If he happens to be the oldest then it means most of them after retirement dont live long.. this is serious... Anyways RIP

Here is my salute to you Sir, RIP the great soldier of Nigerian Armed Forces.

rest on Pa

Rest in peace our great Patriot and Gallant Soldier . Ameen.

There is more patriotism in him that millions of so called Nigerians.

RIP to the real soldier. You deserve a befitting burial ceremony.

Even at 101 he looked strong. i think is a generation thing cox not every old person can stand on their own without suport or walking aid.RIP

God bless this Gallant Soldier. He was one of those that dealt with Biafrans to an extent that, their leader (coward) Ojukwu had to run on exiles. Dressed like a woman.

RIP Sir.
